No remainder marks. [Excerpt from front jacket flap] Here is a stunning collection of poetry ranging from ancient to contemporary, gloriously illustrated in full color by nine Caldecott Medal-winning artists. Culled from the work of renowned poets which include Shel Silverstein, Robert Louis Stevenson, Emily Dickinson, Edward Lear, and Ogden Nash, these 128 selections are as varied as life itself. There are poems that arefunny, some that are touching, some that are profound, and some that are pure nonsense. Some of them are spine-tingling, while others will leave the reader with a warm, peaceful glow. A cultural diversity is also represented in the subject matter, the poets, and the artists. The works are divided into nine themed sections, each illustrated by different artists who are as renowned as the poets. Trina Schart Hyman will stretch the imagination with her images of fanciful wordplay poems; Marcia Brown magically evokes scenes of every kind of weather. Margot Zemach creates a chilling mood with Spooky Poems: Maurice Sendak whimsically narrates Story poems: Amold Lobel shows warmth and humor in poems about animals; Marc Simont captures spirits in poems about people, and Richard Egielskie bends reality in nonsense poems. The Dillons sensitively convey thoughts and feelings, while Marcia Brown concludes the collection with her visual impressions of haiku poems.
